Ingredients

• 2 slices Whole grain bread
• 2 slices Low-fat ham
• 1 slice Reduced-fat cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 slices Tomato
• 1 handful Fresh spinach leaves
• 1 for spraying Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or set your toaster oven to a toast setting if available.

Step 2

Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.

Step 3

Lay the two slices of whole grain bread on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Spread 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard evenly over one side of each slice of bread for a flavorful kick.

Step 5

Place 2 slices of low-fat ham on one of the slices of bread, ensuring they cover the entire surface for a balanced taste.

Step 6

Add the slice of reduced-fat cheddar cheese on top of the ham. Adjust the cheese slice if needed so it doesn’t hang over the edge.

Step 7

Arrange the tomato slices over the cheese, using only as many slices as will fit comfortably without sliding.

Step 8

Scatter a handful of fresh spinach leaves over the tomatoes, pressing gently to help them adhere to the tomatoes and cheese.

Step 9

Top the stack with the second slice of bread, mustard-side facing down, to form a sandwich.

Step 10

Place the baking sheet with the sandwich in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 5 minutes, or until the bread is crisp and golden brown, and the cheese has melted.

Step 11

Remove the sandwich from the oven with care, as it will be hot. Allow it to cool for a minute before cutting it in half diagonally.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat classic ham and cheese toast.
